Item Condition

Magic: The Gathering single: Altar of Dementia, from The Brothers' War Retro Artifacts. Our grade: Near Mint. Pictured: this printing of the card. Every card ships triple-sleeved — a soft sleeve, a deck sleeve and a rigid top loader.

Item Description

Altar of Dementia has been a favorite piece of combo machinery since it first appeared in Tempest in 1997, and The Brothers' War Retro Artifacts gives it the blueprint treatment. This is the schematic version, collector number 66, illustrated by Isis, in non-foil: the Altar drawn as a technical design inside the classic retro frame, with flavor text from the writings of Artonac, a priest of Gix, describing the altar revealed to him in his dreams.

The card itself is beautifully simple. For two mana you get an artifact that lets you sacrifice a creature at any time, for no mana, to make a target player mill cards equal to that creature's power. That makes it a free sacrifice outlet for aristocrats decks, a way to cash in a creature that is about to be exiled or stolen, and a graveyard-filler you can point at yourself when your deck wants cards in the yard.

Where it really shines is in loops. Pair it with a creature that keeps coming back, or an engine that recurs creatures over and over, and Altar of Dementia becomes a win condition that mills out an opponent's entire library. Commander players lean on it in reanimator, sacrifice and graveyard decks, and the schematic art makes it a standout among old-school artifacts in a binder.
